“Good hostel would recommend”
The people working here are exceptionally friendly, and the 24/7 reception creates a comfortable experience. The beds are also really soft. There are free towels available, which was also really nice. The area the hostel is in was good for me since it was quiet and not far from the city center or bus station.

“A solid stay from the Basement Dwellers.”
The staff were lovely, being on bottom floor meant easy access to the kitchen, free washing machine (just need detergent), dishwasher, cold and hot water dispensers, clean bathrooms with toilets, sinks and showers all in one lockable room for privacy, towels can be borrowed with a deposit of 10zl cash only, location was pretty solid, comfy sofas in the common area. We were given the option to change rooms partway through our stay to a room with air con but ended up not doing it because the basement room grew on us. Hostel was usually quite empty, at least in the basement level, which was great for us because we like our space.

“Great hostel walking distance from the center.”
Very confortable, clean, spacious, safe and peacefull. Other hostels may look more central but lack the confort and quality of service. Big confortable beds, natural light, spacious rooms, hot showers, big kitchen, garden, lockers, etc. Old town and train station are 10 min walk.
